Hi guys,

My wife's home town Zushi:

Very nice. Would love to go to Japan sometime and Korea also. I was in China before.
Also went to an Up Garage!:

Nice, I was there November last for two weeks. Stayed in Tokyo for a week and then travelled around on the bullet trains for a week.
Went to Nagano, seen some of the 90s winter Olympic facilities then onto Kyoto and Hiroshima.
Snapped some cars too.

Great pictures and looks like a great place. I'd love to visit sometime
Its definitely on my bucket list to get to. I have to figure out a good reason to get to our Tokyo office!

Mark @[rebel.ranter] you can always say you wish to understand how business is done in APJ compared to EMEA in order to apply the same principles. Alternatively you can take on a "Global" project which will require for you to stay over at least two weeks to understand the culture and talk with all the different stakeholders? Makes sense? :D Last not least you can always say you went to the U.S. no? :DQuote:

Like american style diners, they're called family restaurants, eg. i had a carbonara and my wife had a soup and some bread and it was less than a tenner, there's also fast food places for working people where you could get a curry for €6/7.Quote:

Japan has always been on the list - always heard good reports from anyone who went over
ive done a good bit of the far east already with Thailand , Vietnam , Cambodia etc but Hong Kong and japan are defo top of the list now
I'm over and back to India a bit as it is and I'm on a plane for half of May, getting on to Tokyo might be a bit of a stretch. They kind of do their own thing over there too. I'm knee deep in Global projects as it is!Quote:
